As you might be able to tell I have a new fascination with all things Montessori and rather than reading what other people say about it, I’ve gone to the original books by Maria Montessori herself (English versions translated from the Italian). Here a few learning resources I am purchasing this year for Maths.

Hands on learning with built in fail safe ensuring differentiation. Exciting!
The other side of Maths is painting and art. Last year I used Kandinsky’s Circle in a circle and Paul Klee’s Castle and Sun as a provocation toward thinking about 2D shapes. As the new year has now started I will wait till we cover the learning experiences and share them with you.
